I met you at the motel in Cuba on the CDT in 2016.<br />I have not really studied your materials, but I note that part of your Desert Trail hike you were going to traverse the Panamint Range. You state the traverse would be the first documented traverse of the Panamints.<br />Not so. In 1974 I hiked the back one of the Panamints spending a full 40 days on the traverse itself and many side explorations. I have spent a lot of energy traversing the Crest of The Great Basin Ranges all EASTof the Sierra in California and all across Nevada. I was lucky to be a Wilderness Ranger and Trail Programs Coordinator all across Nevada for several years. At any rate, I am inspired by your quests and confess I caught the bug many years ago. At 71 years young I can't hike as strong as you young guys, but I am still Gliding On!<br />glideonblog.wordpress.com<br />Google Going Loopy in the Wild West<br />Glide On!

Quest...hey Dirtmonger Hippie Long Stockings here. Question when you started in Jacumba did you follow the railroad tracks after reaching DeAnza Springs Resort or did you bushwhack the canyon below the tracks? I work at DeAnza Springs Resort and have been trying to figure out my path from there to the S2. Thinking about hiking the trail this year. Information on that first leg would be awesome. thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654532622407033932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088382655965294916.post-85860796831865207752018-03-22T19:34:55.129-07:002018-03-22T19:34:55.129-07:00Thanks Buck.
